Councilman DeSteph inquired if the Navy had been provided information and allow to comment on this
plan, especially concerns re population growth and increased density. Mr. Dawson advised the Navy has
been contacted and the concept aligns with their plans.
Concerning access, the Rudee Boardwalk has been developed to allow driving on the Boardwalk to
provide access to the boats. Concerning eliminating on-street parking, Ms. Carlton advised the on-
street parking has not been eliminated in many places; it has been taken from diagonal to parallel
parking. Mr. Dawson advised when individuals come to dine in the evening, they do not mind the stroll
from the Municipal Parking Garages to the retail.
Councilman Uhrin advised there would be structured parking to satisfy the needs of the new development.
Mr. Dawson advised you cannot under estimate the need to perform a more detailed Resort Parking
Strategy review. Some of the parking currently is in the wrong place.
Councilman DeSteph inquired where the funding was derived to add a management company to manage
the whole Oceanfront and how would the Workforce Housing work at the Oceanfront.
Mr. Dawson is working with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) and the City
of Cincinnati. Foundations and corporate leaders sponsor the funding for a management group. There is
some budgetary relief from the City; however, the majority is carried by the private sector.
Lynn Carlton advised this is a project for the long term; but, as the development grows, monies can be
placed in afund to encourage the Workforce Housing. The financing could be through the developer, or
businesses and sometimes through the management entity with a special assessment. This would be a
method to create more Workforce Housing.

Councilman Villanueva inquired re the time line for the Environmental Impact Statement. Councilman
Uhrin advised Hampton Roads Transit is hoping to secure the funding from the State this
November/December time frame. HRT will be the entity to carry out the contract. Robert Matthias,
Assistant to the City Manger, advised being assured the City will receive $2-MILLION from the Virginia
Department of Transportation. Secretary Homer has indicated he is attempting to make this a priority.
Tomorrow, October 16, 2008, the Commonwealth Transportation Board is going to be unveiling the
restricted new six-year plan. Another 60% cut in urban secondary and primary funding. However,
Secretary Homer has said if any new project is included, it will be the funding for the new Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS).
Councilman Diezel inquired re the non-Summer Worliforce Housing in terms of how far the workers
commute. In Myrtle Beach, the commute is sometimes thirty (30) miles or more. There is a tremendous
influx of Summer workers from Eastern Europe and other nations.
Mayor Oberndorf inquired if any of the Resort Area that does bring in these wonderful young people
from abroad to work and have the businesses provide a cooperative so they could defray the cost of
building the facility that would serve the needs as far as staffing the different stores and restaurants.
Thus, not having to be provided by the taxpayers.
MI'. Carlton advised these accommodations would be provided through the Housing Fund.
Councilman Uhrin referenced an initiative of Yaron Sabony, owner of Sensations. at the Oceanfront
who had converted an old hotel into dormitory facilities for the foreign exchange students. This provides
a safe environment for the students at a reasonable rent. Councilman Uhrin advised one of the
components of the Environmental Impact Statement will be to analyze the entire grid of bus service.
Mr. Dawson, advised rather than parking in the culmination of the project, transit would be relied upon.
The parking plan and mass transit go "hand-in-hand".
Councilman Wood advised, HRT will place as many buses on the road as needed; however, the City
Council must prioritize. Once, the Environmental Impact Statement is completed, the deficiencies will be
noted.
Relative the funding, Mr. Dawson will provide the Mayor contact information for the Executive Director
of (3CDC) Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation, who can provide information relative the
assessment to the business communities and the foundations. Mayor Oberndorf advised she attended a
Chamber of Commerce Field Trip to Cincinnati and they did show these improvements.
Councilman Uhrin emphasized the depiction of the Viking Hotel on Atlantic Avenue. It is the owner's
intent to actually redevelop this Hotel this year into a mixed use office and retail with parking internal to
the site.
Mr. Whitney advised the form based zoning concept to implement the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan is
a companion to the Plan. The existing zoning ordinance requires a lot of work. not only in the Resort
Area, but elsewhere in the City in order to affect the plans of the community. On October 28. 2008, City
Council will consider a Resolution to direct the Strategic Plan for a recommendation. The final plan is
scheduled to be considered by City Council on December 2, 2008. A work effort will be planned to revise
and reform the zoning ordinance in order to implement this plan. The zoning ordinance will affect the
entire City. As the Strategic Growth Areas are being developed, a plan with refinements to the zoning
ordinance may be necessary.

Mayor Oberndorf requested footnotes be made concerning the length of time of this study, the number of
individuals participating and the location of the meetings.
Councilman Uhrin advised this power point will be on line. Councilman Uhrin suggested an additional
slide be added which will quantify the process with the stakeholder input enlarged.
Mayor Oberndorf referenced the Newtown SGA, and if this included Newtown Road encompassing the
Carolanne Farms area and higher density. Would the residents of her area have a chance to sit down at
a "round table" and be informed of the concepts to light rail as well as what this would mean to them
and their particular areas. Pubic safety is a major concern in her neighborhood. This topic was made
apparent during the Candidates Forum at the Carolanne Farms Civic League.
Mr. Herbert advised re the Newtown SGA, the same processes will be followed with the Resort Area and
Burton Station SGAs, with major emphasis on public involvement.

Mayor Oberndorf advised this will be the first year the Marine Corps is bringing the Birthday Ball to the
Convention Center in Virginia Beach. Mayor Oberndorf has attended the Ball for the past twelve (12)
years, urging them to move the Ball back to the Beach. The representatives were most impressed with the
facilities.
Councilman Dyer advised the Marine Corps takes their Ball very seriously, like watching a Broadway
show. The Marines have upgraded the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico.
ITEM # 58114
Council Lady Henley referenced the City finances and although the analysis concerning revenues are
received, a presentation to guide the City Council would be beneficial Council Lady Henley requested
time to allow for regular updates re revenue and expenditures.
The City Manager advised the 5-year Forecast is scheduled for November 18, 2008. Details are still
being received re the Governor's requests. At 2:00 P.M, this afternoon, October 14, 2008, a cut was
received on the 599 Public Safety Funds OF s $388,000 (the City's share statewide). The $7.5-MILLION
shortfall IS in terms of fuel and elderly tax relief Revenues are under performing in the amount of
approximately $4-MILLION on an annualized basis and the State cuts are approximately another $4-
MILLION. Therefore, in this current year, it is about a $15. 5-MILLION problem. The departments are
working toward adjusting this loss.
Council Lady Henley just wanted to be kept "up-to-date ", even if with just a short explanation at each
of the City Council meetings.
ITEM # 58115
Council Lady Henley referenced last evening, October 13, 2008, the Agricultural Advisory Commission
met. Earlier in the year, there was a Police representative in attendance. The Police Officer discussed the
problem with farm use vehicles. Certain vehicles for farm producers are legally not licensed, as long as
they area utilized for agriculture within a certain distance of the farm. Unfortunately, non-farmers also
tend to violate the privilege. A "sticker" program has been devised by the Police Department. The
Agriculture Department will administer this program and only give stickers to producer farmers for their
trucks. This will enforce validity. The Fire Department also indicated an issue concerning burning,
particularly in wheat fields. The Fire Department is often mistakenly called. A program has been
instituted, where a yard sign will be issued advising a permit has been given for a permitted burn. The
Virginia Beach Farm Bureau will be funding both of these programs and they will develop the stickers
and signs.
ITEM # 58116
Council Lady Henley referenced two (2) invitations, both for the afternoon of October 29, 2008, in the
southern portion of the City. A reception, 2:00 P.M - 4:00 P.M has been scheduled at the Senior
Resource Center - 912 Princess Anne Road, as their first year celebration. That same afternoon, 4:00
P.M - 6:00 P.M is a "Harvest Ag Gathering" This event will be a "welcome" to the new Director of
Agriculture, David Trimmer. A "Pig Picking" dinner will be served. This event will be held at Land of

guarding the safety of Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin re her overnight stay on
Monday, October 12, 2008.
ITEM # 58118
Councilman DeSteph read an e-mail from the President of the USO - Hampton Roads, John Thompson,
advising well over two hundred (200) disabled Vets, on speciality bicycles riding through Norfolk and
Virginia Beach, participated in the "Road to Recovery" this past weekend. Sergeant Burnett co-
ordinated this event for the Police Department. John Thompson said to please pass on his appreciation
to all the motorcycle Police that escorted the "Road to Recovery". Councilman DeSteph has received
four (4) different telephone calls referencing this spectacular event.
ITEM # 58119
Concerning finances, Councilman DeSteph advised at the State level, there have been one hundred (100)
layoffi. The State advised the reductions will be under nineteen hundred (1900). Councilman DeSteph
hopes the City Manager and Robert Matthias could receive more accurate numbers relative reductions.
Councilman DeSteph also requested a projection, not only on the year 2009, but 2010. Councilman
DeSteph requested information concerning the City's approach to this situation.
Councilman Villanueva advised hiring freezes are in place, and the department directors are examining
5%/10%/15% cuts. The City Council needs to join with the City Manager and staff in conversation to
thoroughly consider some of these financial issues. Further study might merit some kind of solution. The
right balance must be ascertained.
Councilman Dyer believes the financial situation underscores the Ordinance scheduled for tonight's City
Council Session:
Ordinance to AMEND ~ 2-20 of the City Code re time and place of
regular City Council meetings
Currently, the City Council has regular meetings on the First, Second, and Fourth Tuesday of each
month. This ordinance will change City Council's regular meetings to the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each
month and City Council will convene Workshops on the First and Third Tuesday of each month.
Therefore, there will be two (2) Workshops per month. These changes will allow more collaborative
discussion with the Virginia Beach City School Board. the City's Legislative Delegation and our
budgetary items. If a particular area of the City may be involved, the City Council could conduct their
Workshop in that vicinity. If adopted, this Ordinance would be effective Januarv 1, 2009.
After adoption of this Ordinance, the City Manager will distribute a questionnaire re City Council's
discussion topics. These can be prioritized in developing the City Council's agenda. These can be
structured through the Agenda process and planned on the calendar for the whole year.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 58120
Mayor Oberndorf advised she and Council Ladies Henley, McClanan and Wilson have been contacted by
very conscientious members of the City, who are very anxious to have a "no kill" animal shelter. The City
Manager has formulated a description of the type of individual to administer the shelter. Therefore, it
would not be a burden on the Police Department. This will entail an appropriation.
The City Manager referenced the Resolution (ADOPTED: March 4, 2008)
Resolution to SUPPORT an Adoption-Friendly Animal Control facility
(requested by Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf).
A couple of progress reports have been issued. One of the key elements that the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), Animal Control, the Police Department and the City Manger's staff
identified is to create the Animal Control Manager. The Budget would have to be amended. A timetable
has been outlined re this recruitment. The City Manager wishes to have the position filed shortly after the
first of the year to work with the community and the architect in the location and design of the new
facility, as well as to start managing the shelter. This can be scheduled for the City Council Session
October 28, 2008.
ITEM # 58121
Council Lady Henley inquired re the number of items that would require a new appropriation. She
feared the reserve for contingencies would be depleted.
The City Manager advised the only (3) new appropriations of which he has knowledge:

[CIP] project and TRANSFER the necessary funds for the Town
Center Pedestrian Safety Improvements (October 14, 2008 City
Council Session)
Ordinance to TRANSFER funds and APPROVE two (2) full-time,
City-funded positions re Commonwealth's Attorney Office re domestic
violence. (ADOPTED: October 7, 2008 City Council Session)
Ordinance to APPROPRIA TE funds for the Animal Control
Manager of the new Adoption-Friendly Animal Control
facility
ITEM # 58122

Legislative Agenda preface. On Monday, October 13, 2008. the City Manager, City Attorney, Robert
Matthias - Assistant to the City Manager, Patricia Phillips, Director - Finance, and Councilman
DeSteph reformatted the entire Community Legislative Agenda. During the Community Legislative
Agenda Discussion, City Council Workshop, Tuesday, October 21, 2008, Item 10 (Automatic
Enrolment for New Employees into the City's Deferred Compensation Program, 11 (Do not Refund
Employer Paid Contributions), 12 (Job Related Disabilities) and 13 (Retirement Benefits for

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
ITEM # 58122 (Continued)
Concerning Items 10, 11, 12 and 13, Council Lady Henley requested relevant recommendations from the
Employee Benefits Review and the Blue Ribbon Tax, Fee and Spending Task Forces.
Councilman Diezel concurred with Council Lady's suggestion. The employees need to be advised of the
issues.
ITEM # 58123
Councilman DeSteph advised currently the Mayor, Vice Mayor City Manager, City Attorney and City
Clerk compile the Agenda. Councilman DeSteph suggested the City Council follow the School Board's
method of preparing the Agenda. Their Chairman would rotate different School Board members to
compile the Agenda. Councilman DeSteph would support different members of City Council rotating to
prepare the Agenda.
Council Lady Wilson was a Member of the School Board when this change was made due to a problem
with the administration? Council Lady Wilson does not feel the need to participate in compiling the
Agenda. She is satisfied with Mayor Oberndorf and Vice Mayor Jones compiling the Agenda. Any items
which Council wishes added to the Agenda have never presented a problem.
ITEM # 58124
Council Lady Wilson referenced an e-mail form her brother who just adopted a German Shepard (who
was ready to be euphonized) from a Shelter. His name is "Harry".
ITEM # 58125
Councilman Villanueva referenced Memorandum from Frank Roberts, Executive Director - Hampton
Roads Military and Federal Facilities Alliance (HRMFFA) Executive Committee providing an update
on their activities. Vice Mayor Jones and Councilman Villanueva had the opportunity to meet with the
Alliance. The Alliance indicated the need to educate the City re military facilities. Councilman
Villanueva believes this is wrong. Councilman Villanueva wished to reexamine the appropriations to this
group as to whether or not they are justified.

Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial '') purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial, and that stock ownership causes him to have a
"personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED her husband is a principal in the accounting firm of
Goodman and Company and is directly and indirectly involved in many of Goodman and Company's
transactions. However, due to the size of Goodman and Company and the volume of transactions it
handles in any given year, Goodman and Company has an interest in numerous matters in which her
husband is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her

acknowledge that VPSA has advised you that such factors may result in your bonds having
a value other than par and that in order to receive an amount of proceeds that is substantially
equal to your Proceeds Requested, you may need to issue a par amount of bonds that is
greater or less than your Proceeds Requested. You, at the request of VPSA, agree to issue
an amount of the local school bonds not in excess of the Maximum Authorized Par Amount
to provide, to the fullest extent practicable given VPSA's purchase price objective, a
purchase price for your bonds and a proceeds amount that is substantially equal to your
Proceeds Requested. You acknowledge that the purchase price for your bonds will be less
than the Proceeds Requested should the Maximum Authorized Par Amount be insufficient,
based upon VPSA's purchase price objective, to generate an amount of proceeds
substantially equal to your Proceeds Requested.
2. You represent that on or before October 10, 2008, your local governing body will have duly
authorized the issuance of your bonds by adopting a resolution in the form attached hereto
as Appendix B (the "local resolution") and that your bonds will be in the form set forth in

local resolution andlor your bonds must be approved by VPSA prior to adoption of the local
resolution by your local governing body. 1

Continuing Disclosure Agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix F, which

Continuing Disclosure Agreement as any Local Issuer the principal amount of whose local
school bonds pledged under VPSA's 1997 Resolution comprises more than 10% of the total
principal amount of all outstanding 1997 Resolution bonds. MOP status will be determined
by adding the principal amount of your local school bonds to be sold to VPSA and the
principal amount of your local bonds previously sold to VPSA and currently pledged under
VPSA's 1997 Resolution and measuring the total against 10% of the face value of all bonds
outstanding as of the Closing Date under VPSA's 1997 Resolution. If you are or may be a

paragraph prior to VPSA's distribution of its Preliminary Official Statement, currently

specify to you, will be true and correct and will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact which should be included in Your Information

ENDNOTES
1 If VPSA does not purchase your local school bonds on the Closing Date due to your
fault, VPSA will invest, in demand or overnight investments, the amount of its bond
proceeds to be used to purchase your local school bonds. If you cure your failure to
deliver your local school bonds within the sixty (60) day period following the Closing
Date, VPSA will purchase your local school bonds and your bonds will bear interest from
the date of delivery and payment or other date satisfactory to VPSA. You will, however,
be required to pay to VPSA at your actual closing an amount equal to the positive
difference, if any, between the amount of interest that would have accrued on your local
school bonds from the Closing Date to your actual closing date less the amount of interest
income VPSA was able to earn, during such period, from the investment of its bond
proceeds pending their use to purchase your bonds and the arbitrage yield on VPSA's
Bonds.

TO BE SOLD TO THE VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOL AUTHORITY
AND PROVIDING FOR THE FORM AND DETAILS THEREOF.
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors (the "Board") of the County of

financing certain capital projects for school purposes; and
WHEREAS, the County [held/will hold] a public hearing, duly noticed, on
2008, on the issuance of the Bonds (as defined below) in accordance with the requirements of

the Bonds relative to the amortization schedules requested by other localities, the purchase price to
be received by VPSA for its bonds and other market conditions relating to the sale of VPSA's
bonds; and

APPENDIX C
to the Bond Sale Agreement
USE OF PROCEEDS CERTIFICATE [FOR NEW MONEY]
The $ General Obligation School Bonds, Series 2008 (the
"Bonds") issued by [Name of Local Unit] (the "Issuer") will be purchased by the Virginia Public
School Authority ("VPSA") from the proceeds of the VPSA's $ School Financing
Bonds (1997 Resolution), Series 2008 B (the "VPSA's Bonds"), pursuant to a Bond Sale
Agreement dated as of the sale date of the VPSA's Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds will be
used to finance the costs of acquiring, constructing and equipping public school facilities owned
and/or operated by the school board for the Issuer (the "School Board"). The Issuer and the
School Board each recognize that certain facts, estimates and representations set forth in the
Certificate as to Arbitrage executed by VPSA in connection with the issuance of the VPSA's
Bonds must be based on the representations and certifications of the Issuer and the School Board,
upon which VPSA and Sidley Austin LLP, its bond counsel ("Bond Counsel") rely, and that the
exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the VPSA's
Bonds depends on the use of proceeds of the VPSA's and the Issuer's Bonds. Accordingly, the
Issuer and the School Board hereby covenant that:
Section 1. Description of Project and Refunded Obligations. The proceeds of the
Bonds, including investment income thereon ("proceeds"), will be used to finance the
acquisition, construction, and equipping of public school facilities ofthe Issuer (the "Project").
Section 2. Governmental Use of Proceeds. The Issuer and the School Board
covenant the following with respect to the use of proceeds of the Bonds and the facilities
financed therewith:
( a) In General.
(i) Private Business Use. No more than ten percent (10%) of the
proceeds of the Bonds or the Project (based on the greatest of: (A) the cost
allocated on the basis of space occupied, (B) the fair market value, or (C) the
actual cost of construction) has been or, so long as the Bonds are outstanding, will
be, used in the aggregate for any activities that constitute a "Private Use" (as such
term is defined below in subsection (d) of this Section 2).
(ii) Private Securitv or Pavment. No more than ten percent (10%) of
the principal of or interest on the Bonds, under the terms thereof or any
underlying arrangement, has been, or, so long as the Bonds are outstanding, will
be, directly or indirectly, (A) secured by any interest in (I) property used for a
Private Use or (II) payments in respect of such property or (B) derived from
payments in respect of property used or to be used for a Private Use, whether or
not such property is a part of the Project.
(b) No Disproportionate or Unrelated Use. With respect to private business use
disproportionate to or not related to governmental use financed or refinanced with the
C-l
11"
proceeds of the Bonds, no more than five percent (5%) of the principal of or interest on
such Bonds, under the terms thereof or any underlying arrangement, has been, or, so long
as the Bonds are outstanding, will be, directly or indirectly, (x) secured by any interest in
(I) property used for a Private Use or (II) payments in respect of such property or (y)
derived from payments in respect of property used or to be used for a Private Use,
whether or not such property is a part of the Project.
(c) No Private Loan Financing. No proceeds of the Bonds will be used to make
or finance loans to any person other than to a state or local governmental unit.
(d) Definition of Private Use. For purposes of this Certificate, the term "Private
Use" means any activity that constitutes a trade or business that is carried on by persons
or entities other than state or local governmental entities. Any activity carried on by a
person other than a natural person is treated as a trade or business. The leasing of
property financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the Bonds or the access of a person
other than a state or local governmental unit to property or services on a basis other than
as a member of the general public shall constitute Private Use unless the Issuer obtains an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the contrary. Use of property financed or refinanced with
proceeds of the Bonds by any person, other than a state or local governmental unit, in its
trade or business constitutes general public use only if the property is intended to be
available and is in fact reasonably available for use on the same basis by natural persons
not engaged in a trade or business ("General Public Use").
In most cases Private Use will occur only if a nongovernmental person has a special legal
entitlement to use the financed or refinanced property under an arrangement with the Issuer or
the School Board. Such a special legal entitlement would include ownership or actual or
beneficial use of the Project pursuant to a lease, management or incentive payment contract,
output contract, research agreement or similar arrangement. In the case of property that is not
available for General Public Use, Private Use may be established solely on the basis of a special
economic benefit to one or more nongovernmental persons. In determining whether special
economic benefit gives rise to Private Use, it is necessary to consider all of the facts and
circumstances, including one or more of the following factors:
(i) whether the financed or refinanced property is functionally related
or physically proximate to property used in the trade or business of a
nongovernmental person;
(ii) whether only a small number of nongovernmental persons receive
the economic benefit; and
(iii) whether the cost of the financed or refinanced property is treated as
depreciable by the nongovernmental person.
As of the date hereof, no portion of the Project is leased (or will be so leased) by the
Issuer or the School Board (or a related party or agent) to a person or entity other than a state or
local governmental unit or to members of the general public for General Public Use.
C-2
1111
(e) Management and Service Contracts. With respect to management and service
contracts, the determination of whether a particular use constitutes Private Use under this
Certificate shall be determined on the basis of applying Revenue Procedure 97-13, 1997-
1 C. B. 632, as modified by Revenue Procedure 2001-39, 2001-2 C.B. 38 (collectively,
"Revenue Procedure 97-13"). As of the date hereof, no portion of the proceeds derived
from the sale of the Bonds is being used to finance or refinance property subject to
contracts or other arrangements with persons or entities engaged in a trade or business
(other than governmental units) that involve the management of property or the provision
of services with respect to property financed or refinanced with proceeds of the Bonds
that does not comply with the standards of Revenue Procedure 97-13.
For purposes of determining the nature of a Private Use, any arrangement that is properly
characterized as a lease for federal income tax purposes is treated as a lease. Consequently, an
arrangement that is referred to as a management or service contract may nevertheless be treated
as a lease. In determining whether a management contract is properly characterized as a lease, it
is necessary to consider all of the facts and circumstances, including the following factors:
(i) the degree of control over the property that is exercised by a
nongovernmental person; and
(ii) whether a nongovernmental person bears risk of loss of the
financed or refinanced property.
Section 3. Time Test and Due Diligence Test. The Issuer or the School Board have
incurred or will incur within 6 months of the date hereof substantial binding obligations, which
are not subject to contingencies within the control of the Issuer or the School Board or a related
party, to third parties to expend at least 5% of the net sale proceeds of the Bonds on the Project.
The Issuer and the School Board will proceed with due diligence to spend all of the proceeds of
the Bonds within three years of the date hereof.
Section 4. Dispositions and Change in Use.
(a) No Sale or Disposition. The Issuer and the School Board expect to own and
operate and do not expect to sell or otherwise dispose of the Project, or any component
thereof, prior to the final maturity date ofthe VPSA's Bonds (August 1, [20~).
(b) No Change in Use. The Issuer and the School Board represent, warrant and
covenant that the Project will be used for the governmental purpose of the Issuer and the
School Board during the period of time the Bonds are outstanding, unless an opinion of
Bond Counsel is received with respect to any proposed change in use of the Project.
Section 5. No Sinking or Pledged Funds. The Issuer and the School Board have not
established and will not establish any funds or accounts that are reasonably expected to be used
to pay debt service on the Bonds or that are pledged (including negative pledges) as collateral for
the Bonds for which there is a reasonable assurance that amounts on deposit therein will be
available to pay debt service on the Bonds if the Issuer or the School Board encounters financial
difficulty.
C-3
1111
Section 6. No Replacement Proceeds.
(a) In General. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used as a
substitute for other funds that prior to the Issuer's resolving to proceed with the issuance
of the Bonds was used or is to be used to pay any cost of the Project.
(b) Safe Harbor. In accordance with Section 1.148-1 (c) of the Treasury
Regulations regarding the safe harbor against the creation of "replacement proceeds", as
of the date hereof, the weighted average maturity of the Bonds does not exceed 120% of
the reasonably expected economic life of the Project financed thereby.
Section 7. No Refunding. The proceeds of the Bonds will not be used to provide for the
payment of any principal of or interest on any obligations of the Issuer, other than the Bonds,
incurred in the exercise of its borrowing power.
Section 8. Composite Issue. There are no other obligations of the Issuer that have been,
or will be (a) sold within 15 days of the VPSA's Bonds or the Bonds, (b) sold pursuant to the
same plan of financing together with the Bonds, and (c) paid out of substantially the same source
of funds as the Bonds.
Section 9. No Federal Guarantee. The Issuer and the School Board shall not take or
permit any action that would cause (a) the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds to be
guaranteed, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part by the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof or (b) 5 percent or more of the proceeds of the Bonds to be (i) used in
making loans the payment of principal of or interest on which is guaranteed in whole or in part
by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof or (ii) invested directly or
indirectly in federally insured deposits or accounts (except as permitted under Section 149(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or the regulations promulgated
thereunder). The Issuer and the School Board have not, and will not enter into, any (i) long-term
service contract with any federal governmental agency, (ii) service contract with any federal
governmental agency under terms that are materially different from the terms of any contracts
with any persons other than federal government agencies, and (iii) lease of property to any
federal government agency that would cause the Bonds to be considered "federally guaranteed"
within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code.
Section 10. No Hedge Bonds. The Issuer and the School each reasonably expects that
all of the net sale proceeds of the Bonds will be used to pay the cost of the Project within three
years of the date hereof. Furthermore, not more than 50 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds
will be invested in Nonpurpose Investments (as such term is defined in Section 148(t)(6)(A) of
the Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more.
Section 11. No Overissuance. The total proceeds derived by the Issuer from the sale
of the Bonds and anticipated investment earnings thereon do not exceed the total of the amounts
necessary to finance the Project.
Section 12. Reimbursable Expenses. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds to be
applied to the cost of the Project will be used to reimburse the Issuer for expenditures incurred
thereby with respect to the Project in anticipation of the issuance of the Bonds. The Issuer and
C-4
11"
the School Board represent the following with respect to the costs of the Project to be reimbursed
from the proceeds of the Bonds.
(a) Official Intent. The total amount of reimbursed costs incurred by the Issuer
with respect to the Project is not expected to exceed $ . Such expenditures
were paid prior to the date hereof but no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to
_, _, which is the date the Issuer or the School Board adopted its "official intent"
declaration (the "Official Intent Declaration") in accordance with Section 1.150-2 of the
Treasury Regulations. The Official Intent Declaration:
(i) was, on the date of its adoption, intended to constitute a written
documentation on behalf of the Issuer that states that the Issuer reasonably
expected to reimburse itself for such expenditures with the proceeds of a taxable
or tax-exempt borrowing,
(ii) set forth a general description of the Project, and
(iii) stated the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued
for the Project.
Neither the Issuer nor the School Board has taken any action subsequent to the
expression of such intent that would contradict or otherwise be inconsistent with such
intent.
(b) Reasonable Official Intent. As of the date of the Official Intent Declaration,
the Issuer reasonably expected to reimburse such expenditures with the proceeds of a
borrowing. The Issuer does not have a pattern of failing to reimburse expenditures for
which an intention to reimburse such expenditures was declared and which were actually
paid by the Issuer other than in circumstances that were unexpected and beyond the
control of the Issuer.
(c) Reimbursement Period Requirement. The proceeds derived from the sale of
the Bonds to be applied to reimburse the above-described expenditures will be so applied
no later than the later of the date that is (i) eighteen (18) months after the date on which
the expenditure being reimbursed was paid, or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the date on
which the portion of the Project to which such expenditure relates was placed in service
(within the meaning of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations) or abandoned. The
Issuer shall not, however, use Bond proceeds to reimburse the above-described
expenditures later than three (3) years after the date the original expenditure was paid.
(d) Reimbursable Expenditures. The expenditures to be reimbursed are either (i)
capital expenditures (within the meaning of Section 1.150-1 (b) of the Treasury
Regulations), (ii) costs of issuance, (iii) certain working capital expenditures for
extraordinary, nonrecurring items that are not customarily payable from current revenues
(within the meaning of Section 1.148-6 (d) (3) (ii) (B) of the Treasury Regulations), (iv)
grants (within the meaning of Section 1.148-6 (d) (4) of the Treasury Regulations), or (v)
qualified student loans, qualified mortgage loans or qualified veterans' mortgage loans
(within the meaning of Section 1.150-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations). None of the
C-5
1111
expenditures to be reimbursed were incurred for day-to-day operating costs or similar
working capital items.
(e) Anti-Abuse Rules. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds being used to
reimburse the Issuer for prior expenditures will be used, directly or indirectly, within one
year of the date of a reimbursement allocation, in a manner that results in the creation of
replacement proceeds (within the meaning of Section 1.148-1 of the Treasury
Regulations), other than amounts deposited in a bona fide debt service fund.
Section 13. Private Activity Covenants. The Issuer and the School Board each
represents, warrants and covenants that it will take no action that would cause either the Bonds
or the VPSA's Bonds to be private activity bonds within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the
Code and that it will not fail to take any action that would prevent the VPSA's Bonds and the
Bonds from being private activity bonds, within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Code.
Furthermore, the Issuer and the School Board have established reasonable procedures to ensure
compliance with this covenant.
Section 14. No Artifice or Device. None of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in
a manner that employs an abusive arbitrage device under Section 1.148-10 of the Treasury
Regulations to avoid the arbitrage restrictions or to avoid the restrictions under Sections 142
through 147 of the Code and the Issuer has not engaged and will not engage in a transaction or
series of transactions enabling it to exploit the difference between tax-exempt and taxable
interest rates to gain a material financial advantage and which increases the burden on the market
for tax-exempt obligations, including selling obligations that would not otherwise be necessary
or issuing obligations sooner or allowing them to remain outstanding longer than would
otherwise be necessary.
Section 15. Covenant as to Arbitrage. The Issuer and the School Board each
represents, warrants and covenants that whether or not any of the Bonds remain outstanding, the
money on deposit in any fund or account maintained in connection with the Bonds, whether or
not such money was derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from any other
sources, will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds or the VPSA's Bonds to be
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the applicable regulations
thereunder.
Section 16. Tax Covenant. The Issuer and the School Board each represents, warrants
and covenants that it will not take any action which will, or fail to take any action which failure
will, cause the interest on the Bonds or the VPSA's Bonds to become includable in the gross
income of the owners of the Bonds or the VPSA' s Bonds for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in effect on
the date of original issuance of the Bonds and the VPSA's Bonds.

ENDNOTES
1.
For purposes of this questionnaire, "real property" means improvements to land, such as buildings
or other inherently permanent structures, including items that are structural components of such
buildings or structures. For example, real property includes wiring in a building, plumbing
systems, central heating or central air conditioning systems, pipes or ducts, elevators or escalators
installed in a building, paved parking areas, road, wharves and docks, bridges and sewage lines.
For purposes of this questionnaire, tangible personal property means any tangible property except
real property. For example, tangible personal property includes machinery that is not a structural
component of a building, school buses, automobiles, office equipment, testing equipment and
furnishings.
2.
See description of real property in endnote 1. This includes all capital expenditures that are
properly chargeable to or may be capitalized as part of the basis of the real property prior to the
date the property is placed in service. For purposes of this questionnaire, expenditures are
considered paid in connection with the construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation of real
property if the contract between the Issuer and the seller requires the seller to build or install the
property (such as under a "turnkey contract") but only to the extent the property has not been built
or installed at the time the parties enter into the contract. If the property has been partially built or
installed at the time the parties enter into the contract, the expenditures that are allocable to the
portion of the property built or installed before that time are expenditures for the acquisition of real
property.
3.
See endnote 3.
4.
See endnote 3.

For purposes of this questionnaire, expenditures are in connection with the construction of tangible
personal property, as defined in endnote 2, if:
6.
(a) A substantial portion of the property or properties is completed more than 6 months
after the earlier of the date construction or rehabilitation commenced and the date the Issuer
entered into an acquisition contract;
(b) Based on the reasonable expectations of the Issuer, if any, or representations of the
person constructing the property, with the exercise of due diligence, completion of construction or
rehabilitation (and delivery to the Issuer) could not have occurred within that 6-month period; and
(c) If the Issuer itself builds or rehabilitates the property, not more than 75% of the
capitalizable cost is attributable to property acquired by the Issuer (e.g., components, raw materials
and other supplies).
7.
Specially developed computer software means any programs or routines used to cause a computer
to perform a desired task or set of tasks, and the documentation required to describe and maintain
those programs, provided that the software is specially developed and is functionally related and
subordinate to real property or other constructed personal property.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Town Center Pedestrian Safety Improvements
As requested by City Council, Public Works and Parks and Recreation staff have conducted a
Town Center Pedestrian Safety Improvement Study and the results are attached. The study
focuses on reducing the risk to pedestrians while crossing the busy roads of Town Center. This
review focused on: mid-block pedestrian crossing, major intersection pedestrian crossing, and
pedestrian signal operation.
Mid-block pedestrian crossing has become an issue on Virginia Beach Boulevard between
Constitution Drive and Independence Boulevard. Staff has provided three versions of a strategy
to reduce this activity, each of which incorporates a median treatment ofplantings, trees and
decorative fence to discourage mid-block crossing. The cost of the three options ranges from
$132K to $167K. The cost variation is contingent upon the alignment of the fence and quantity
of pJantings. Staff is recommending that we install decorative fencing on both sides of the
median to ensure pedestrian visibility of this barrier and therefore, accomplish the intended
effects. (Concept One)
Staff also looked at two major intersections: Virginia Beach Boulevard/Independence Boulevard
and Virginia Beach Boulevard/Constitution Drive:
· Virginia Beach BoulevardlIndepeodence Boulevard: Mechanical repairs and a
reevaluation of the signal light timing were conducted and no additional changes were
recommended for the crosswalk infrastructure currently in place.

Town Center Pedestrian Safety Improvements
September 5,2008
Page 2
. Virginia Beach Boulevard/Constitution Drive: Because no pedestrian crossing exists
at this location the staff is recommending the installation of a pedestrian crossing
infrastructure to support increased pedestrian traffic created by implementation of the
median pedestrian barrier described above. Installation of pedestrian signals and a
crosswalk costs $41 K. This pedestrian crossing will be similar to the pedestrian crossing
at Central Park Boulevard and Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Pedestrian safety is a major concern for City leadership and the growth of Town Center has
created a heightened risk for our citizens. It is the recommendation of staff to request City
Council appropriate $208,000 from our reserve for contingency fund. These funds would be
used to install the mid-block pedestrian crossing barrier (fence and landscaping) and a pedestrian
crossing signal and crosswalk.
Should you have any questions please contact Bob Oey, Public Works Traffic Engineer or
myself.

Pembroke Pedestrian Safety Improvement Study
This report addresses concerns regarding pedestrian safety in the Pembroke area of
Virginia Beach. During City Council discussion about the pedestrian bridge to be
constructed from Town Center to Pembroke Mall, questions were raised about what can
be done now to improve pedestrian safety. This report addresses specific concerns that
have been brought forward.
. Pedestrians are cross mid-block across Virginia Beach Boulevard and walking
across the median rather than using existing pedestrian crosswalks to get from
Town Center to Pembroke Mall.
. The second issue is that pedestrians are coming in conflict with traffic at existing
crosswalks.
. The third question is why don't we look at providing enough time for pedestrians
to cross all the way across Virginia Beach Boulevard rather than crossing half
way.
. The fourth issue is the need to install pedestrian crosswalks and signals at
Constitution and Virginia beach Boulevard.
Mid-block pedestrian crossin!!
The concern is that it is not safe for pedestrian to cross mid-block and could result in
serious injury. While police can help to address this issue, ticketing pedestrians is counter
intuitive to the pedestrian friendly image that we are promoting for Town Center. The
next alternative would be to create an attractive physical barrier in the median of Virginia
Beach Boulevard. Examples of these can be seen in Norfolk as well as other Cities. The
idea is to install a fence preventing pedestrians from crossing mid-block. The challenge is
to do this attractively to fit into the character of Town Center. For the purposes of this
report, three options have been evaluated along with estimated cost.
Project Area: Virginia Beach Boulevard Median from Constitution Drive to
Independence Boulevard
Scope: The project scope is to develop a fence and planting improvements in the median
to encourage pedestrians to cross Virginia Beach Boulevard at marked and/or signaled
pedestrian crossings. Fence heights and general locations were determined by Public
Works Traffic Engineering. Two general area zones were identified where no fence could
be located and general areas where a fence of approximately 48" could be located. In
addition, various sites were visited and photographed to show similar existing
alternatives.
III
Existing Conditions: The existing median is a combination of concrete paving, curb,
signals and lights and existing trees and plants. The significant constraints of the site are
the existing location of trees, lights and signals and underground utilities. The existing
trees, lights, signals and underground utilities are primarily focused in the central spine of
the median.
Concepts: Three concepts were developed addressing the above scope and existing
conditions. All concepts have cost estimated for ground cover and shrubs with a few tree
replacements. The detailed design has not been completed. In addition, all three concepts

Next Steps: Once a funding source can be identified, the final design for the chosen
concept will be done by staff. Additional detail can be provided for review. Once the
project is approved, it is estimated the work can be completed in a few months.

Impacts of providin!! additional pedestrian crossin!! time across Vir!!inia Beach
Boulevard
Staff has evaluated the concept of providing exclusive pedestrian phases at the Virginia
Beach Boulevard/Central ParklPembroke Mall and Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Independence Boulevard intersections. Currently, these intersections operate
such that the pedestrian walk phases allow pedestrians to cross only halfway to the
median of the eight-lane roadway during the walk phase. This section of the Town
Center Pedestrian Report documents Traffic Engineering's evaluation that included
conducting pedestrian counts at key Town Center intersections, observation of existing
pedestrian signal operations and preliminary analysis of the impacts to the vehicular
traffic that would result from providing exclusive pedestrian phases at these intersections.
Existing Pedestrian Volumes
In response to this evaluation request, Traffic Engineering staff conducted pedestrian
counts at the Virginia Beach Boulevard and Independence Boulevard as well as Virginia
Beach Boulevard at Central ParklPembroke Mall intersections on Thursday, June 5th.
The results of those pedestrian counts are as follows:
Town Center Pedestrian Counts
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Inde endence Boulevard
cross Across
B Blvd. Inde . Blvd.
10
12 3
12 11
Central Park A venue
cross Across
B Blvd. Central Park
11 1l
122 121
3 170
The pedestrian counts show that pedestrian activity at the Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Independence Boulevard intersection is light throughout the day and is of a
random pattern of use. In contrast to this is the pedestrian activity at the Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Central Park Avenue intersection, where significant pedestrian volumes were
observed crossing Virginia Beach Boulevard from Pembroke Mall to Town Center,
particularly during the lunch time hours of 11 a.m. to I p.m. The pedestrian volumes
would indicate that pedestrians were present in every traffic signal cycle during those two
mid-day hours and could have been present every cycle during the evening hours as well.
III'
Existing Pedestrian Operations
In addition to the pedestrian counts, Traffic Engineering staff investigated the operations
of the pedestrian signals at the Virginia Beach Boulevard/Independence Boulevard and
Virginia Beach Boulevard/ Central Park Avenue intersections. At the Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Independence Boulevard intersection, the only time that pedestrian phases can
come up is during the adjacent vehicular through movement phase. For instance,
pedestrians crossing Virginia Beach Boulevard on the east side of Independence
Boulevard can only get a walk signal when the northbound through movement on
Independence Boulevard phase is running. The walk symbol cannot occur for this side of
Independence Boulevard in any other phase. Similarly, pedestrians crossing Virginia
Beach Blvd. on the west side of Independence can only get the walk symbol during the
southbound through phase. The walk time for each leg of the intersection is only 25
seconds, meaning that this intersection is timed to have pedestrians cross to the median
and wait for the next walk phase to cross from the median to the other side.
At the time of the pedestrian signal observation, this intersection did not have pedestrian
push button signs to indicate that you should cross only to the median. Also, one of the
pedestrian push buttons was found to be broken. Traffic Engineering relayed these
pedestrian signal deficiencies to Traffic Operations and by June 20th Traffic Operations
reported that new pedestrian signage that directs the pedestrians to cross only to the
median had been added and the existing pedestrian push buttons had been replaced with
the new responsive "bulldog" pedestrian push buttons on all legs of the intersection.
These buttons emit a confirmation tone and light when the button is pushed.
At the Virginia Beach Boulevard/ Central Park Avenue intersection, the pedestrian phase
for crossing Virginia Beach Boulevard occurs during the northbound Central Park phase.
The walk time for the pedestrian phase is only 25 seconds, meaning that this intersection
is timed to have pedestrians cross to the median on Virginia Beach Boulevard and wait
for the next walk phase to cross from the median to the other side.
In observing the pedestrian operations at these two intersections, Traffic Engineering
staff identified two areas of potential conflict with vehicular traffic. The first is with right
turning traffic that has a green ball indication, meaning that it has the right-of-way. At
the Virginia Beach Boulevard/ Central Park Avenue intersection, northbound right turns
have a green ball indication while the pedestrians are crossing Virginia Beach Boulevard.
At this location, Traffic Engineering has installed a sign which requires right turning
vehicles to yield to pedestrians. At the Virginia Beach Boulevard/Independence
Boulevard intersection, the right turns on green ball indications are potentially in conflict
with pedestrians crossing in front of their turns on all legs of the intersection.
III
Exclusive Pedestrian Phase Evaluation
Traffic Engineering was asked to evaluate what appears at first glance to be a simple
idea: Provide a 45 second exclusive pedestrian phase at the Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Central Park/Pembroke Mall and Virginia Beach Boulevard/Independence
Boulevard intersections. The 45 second phase would allow pedestrians to cross the entire
width of these roadways, eliminating the need to cross only to the median and wait until
the next pedestrian phase to finish crossing. The exclusive phase would also eliminate
the existing conflict between the right turns on green and the pedestrians. Adding "No
right on red" signs at these intersections in association with the exclusive pedestrian
phase would further increase pedestrian safety by eliminating the newly created potential
conflict because pedestrians would now be crossing during the all red phase. The gains in
pedestrian accessibility by providing exclusive pedestrian phases would result in
significant negative impacts to traffic flow through the Virginia Beach Boulevard and
Independence Boulevard corridors. These impacts are described in this section of the
report.
The most significant impact to vehicular traffic in the Virginia Beach Boulevard and
Independence Boulevard corridors would be the increased delay at the intersections.
Currently, the Virginia Beach Boulevard and Independence Boulevard corridors have
coordinated signal systems through the Town Center area. From Bonney Road to Jeannie
Street on Independence and from Aragona Boulevard to Cavalier Drive on Virginia
Beach Boulevard, the traffic signals all have the same cycle length and are timed to allow
traffic to progress through the corridors to minimize vehicular delays and number of
stops, which leads to less air pollution and fuel consumption. All of the intersections in
these corridors would have to be retimed with a cycle length of 180 seconds, which is
extremely inefficient and would cause increased delays and fuel consumption throughout
these two corridors that together serve over 105,000 vehicles per day in 2007. Using
simple assumptions, such as a two second vehicle headway through the intersections, 25
foot vehicle spacing, a 180 second cycle length with the exclusive pedestrian phase and
saturated flow traffic conditions in the afternoon peak hour, the addition of a 45 second
exclusive pedestrian phase would result in traffic backing up over two miles during the
afternoon peak hour to the east and west on Virginia Beach Boulevard and to the north
and South on Independence, to include the Independence/I-264 interchange which is less
then % miles from Virginia Beach Boulevard. This is additional delay over and above
what is being experienced today.
A second negative impact to vehicular traffic from the exclusive pedestrian phases and
the "Right on Red" prohibition would be increased delays on the internal roadway
networks for Town Center and Pembroke Mall. These increased internal delays entering
and exiting these intensely developed commercial areas would result decreased
pedestrian safety on the internal streets due to the queuing of traffic through intersections.
Alternative ideas for improved pedestrian operations have also been identified for the
Virginia Beach Boulevard/Central Park/Pembroke Mall and Virginia Beach
Boulevard/Independence Boulevard intersections, such as extending the existing non-
11I1
exclusive walk phases to 45 seconds only when the pedestrian button is pushed so that
pedestrians can cross the entire width of Virginia Beach Boulevard and Independence
Boulevard in one walk phase. While this would not result in vehicle queues of two miles,
it would result in a significant inefficiency of signal operation throughout the Virginia
Beach Boulevard and Independence Boulevard corridors and would result in significant
additional vehicular delays and fuel consumption in the peak hours. The existing
pedestrian counts show that because of the number of pedestrians crossing Virginia
Beach Boulevard during the midday and evening peak hours at Central Park A venue,
pedestrians would extend the pedestrian phase on every cycle. This would result in
eastbound and westbound traffic on Virginia Beach Boulevard to back up about one mile
from this intersection in the afternoon peak hour, over and above current backups. In
addition, this would result in this intersection being taken out of coordination with the
surrounding traffic signals and northbound and southbound traffic on Independence
Boulevard turning onto eastbound Virginia Beach Boulevard would be delayed and
queued through other intersections.
Conclusions
The pedestrian operations at the Virginia Beach Boulevard/Central Park/Pembroke Mall
and Virginia Beach Boulevard/ Independence Boulevard intersections have been
improved significantly in recent years, and just recently as this evaluation reports, to
include better pedestrian signage and direction, responsive push buttons and countdown
pedestrian signals. It is undeniable that the addition of an exclusive pedestrian phase at
these intersections would be the most convenient and a slightly more safe way for
pedestrians to cross Independence Boulevard and Virginia Beach Boulevard in the Town
Center area. However, this evaluation has shown that adding an exclusive pedestrian
phases at the Virginia Beach Boulevard/Central Park/Pembroke Mall and Virginia Beach
Boulevard/ Independence Boulevard intersections would result in significantly increased
vehicular delays and fuel consumption in the already over capacity Virginia Beach
Boulevard and Independence Boulevard corridors through the Pembroke area. In addition
to increased vehicle delay increased vehicular accidents would increase. Due to the
significant amount of increased delay, red light running, blocking of side streets, failure
to yield all are common and add up to increased vehicular crashes.
Considering all aspects of this evaluation, Public Works Engineering's recommendation
is to not implement the exclusive pedestrian phase or extended pedestrian phases and to
maintain the existing pedestrian operations on Virginia Beach Boulevard in the Town
Center area.
III
Additional Pedestrian Crossin!!
We have evaluated the cost of providing an additional pedestrian crossing at the
intersection of Constitution Drive and Virginia Beach Boulevard. The total estimated cost
for the installation of pedestrian signals and stamped crosswalk for three legs at this
intersection is approximately $41,000. The pedestrian crossing would look similar to this
existing pedestrian crossing at Central Park Avenue and Virginia Beach Boulevard.

Reference: Vehicle Loan
04/03/08
Dear Chief Edwards,
I hope all finds you well. I am writing to request a no interest loan from the Department
of EMS and the City of Virginia Beach for the purchase of a new ambulance.
We have obtained a 50/50 grant for a portion of this purchase.
The amount of the loan we are requesting is $77,000. We have a total purchase price
of approximately $132,000 with a grant of $55,000. Repayment of the loan would be
over the term of five (5) years in lump sum payments of $15,400 each
This unit is a replacement of a current unit that has seen a great deal of wear and tear
over the past several years. Our units at Kempsville are seeing increased usage due to
need for increased staffing as well as an increase in call volume.
Your time and consideration with regard to this matter is greatly appreciated.
If you require further documentation or have further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Thank you
